a former stone quarry that was the source for many of the earliest buildings in Clifton Heights, originally an area called Rohs Hill. Walk through here now or explore its features following Walk 4: Mount Auburn. Across the street at 2347 Vine St. is the building that served as the headquarters of the International Union of United Brewery, Flour, Cereal and Soft Drink Workers from 1886 to 1973. Previously, in pre-Civil War days, the site was home to the Rohs and Co. Brewery. Today it is Ikron, a social services nonprofit organization.
Make your way uphill on Vine Street, and turn left at Pitt Street, the steepest alleyway in Cincinnati. Motor vehicles have never had through-access to W. McMillan Street above. Note the gaslights and brick sidewalks, including two former alley homes now part of Hollister Triangle Park. Nestled within the block bound between W. Hollister, W. McMillan, and Vine Streets, the pocket park was created as an accessible public space in 1979 through a plan to rehabilitate numerous residential properties on the block. Continue uphill on the cobblestone walkway to W. McMillan Street. To the right is Melbourne Flats (39 W. McMillan St.), built in 1898 and one of five structures in CUF on the National Register of Historic Places.
Use the crosswalk at W. McMillan Street and continue upward on Scioto Lane to Calhoun Street. Opposite Calhoun is the breathtaking
Make a left on Calhoun Street and approach this rare collection of surviving 19th-century buildings that serve as a reminder of the historic commercial district that once dominated here. On the left is the second location of 43-year-old
At the end of the block, make a left on Ohio Avenue. Third Protestant Memorial Church (2510 Ohio Ave.) is the former location of the first German congregation in Cincinnati that dated back to 1814. Founded in Over-the-Rhine, it relocated several times before moving up the hill to Clifton Heights, due to anti-German hysteria during World War I and a dwindling congregation. The church disbanded in 2001, and the building currently houses retailer Urban Outfitters.
